Mishti Pulao – Bengali Sweet & Savory Pulao

Mishti Pulao – Bengali Sweet & Savory Pulao is a fabulous rice dish that will compliment any Indian thali.

Today I have another pulao for you. This time we’ve gone over to the central eastern Indian state of West Bengal. This rice which is a bit sweet and a bit spicy is the perfect balance of the two flavors. Bengali’s are fond of whole spices, which is every present in this pulao. Please be sure to not try to eat the whole spices. It might be hard to believe for some, but yes I’ve had to tell people that when I’ve hosted Indian cuisine parties.

That mishti pulao looks absolutely amazing Mir. Love the texture of the rice — just perfect. Yes, even I have to keep telling people not to eat the spices and for my kids, I take them out before serving just to be extra cautious.

Its been ages(few months are ages for me when it comes sweet pulao 😉 since I made meethe rice. As soon as I read ‘mishti pulao, I started drooling and made up my mind to make it immediately. After reading the list of ingredients came to know it is spicy and sweet…an interesting combination though and the effect is…I have just soaked the rice to try it now itself 🙂
